So how much would you pay for an eyepiece box? Well, this isn't just ANY eyepiece box, of course. It belongs to the coveted Meade Research Grade series of vintage oculars. The eyepieces themselves without boxes can command very high prices at auctions. Good luck if you're bidding on this one!

I offered $50 for a Pentax Ortho box once (I'm missing one box for my set) and the other guy turned me down. I recently sold a full set of Meade RGs (Orthos and Wide Angles) with all boxes for $1700. I doubt I would have made that much had they lacked the boxes. Clearly there is market value for out of production eyepiece boxes.
